Inserting the Adapter
You can insert a maximum of three adapters into your system to connect to
multiple targets and increase throughput performance. To insert the Intel
®
PRO/1000 T IP Storage Adapter into your computer, follow these steps:
1. If your computer is not a Hot Plug system, turn it off and unplug it
before you remove the cover. If your computer is a Hot Plug system,
see your server's documentation for information about removing the
cover.
CAUTION: Failing to power down the system and remove the
power cord BEFORE removing the cover could
physically endanger you or damage the adapter or
computer.
2. Remove the cover bracket from a 32- or 64-bit PCI or PCI-X bus
master slot.
3. In a 32-bit PCI or PCI-X slot, the end of the edge connector will be
exposed and not connected. Make sure the exposed end does not
contact any conducting part of the motherboard.
NOTE:The HBAs illustrated in the figure below are for illustration
purposes only. The actual Intel
®
PRO/1000 T IP Storage Adapter is
longer and has more onboard components than those depicted in
the illustration.
